Communication Tips, Trends & Strategies:
How could we complicate communication even fur-
ther? How about a global pandemic that forces drastic,
lasting change to the workforce? Communication tech-
niques have evolved quickly then COVID-19 impacted it
even further. Where are we headed? How can we im-
prove? This session will provide insight into the evolu-
tion of communication along with effective strategies
to engage your co-workers, colleagues and even
strengthen personal relationships.
"I attended Brad Gingras’s Interpersonal Communication Skills course to learn how I could improve the effectiveness of our conservation outreach. The class was engaging, educational, and went by very quickly. I highly recommend utilizing Brad as a speaker for your next organizational gathering. He will help your group understand and address the significant communication challenges we face today."

generations in the workforce, but more importantly strategies to help understand what makes each age cohort succeed and engage. No matter which generation you fit into, this session will be relevant, entertaining and help you better understand your coworkers and individuals throughout your life.
